Quick Hits...
Here are some quick hits from the weekend...
- The Browns looked horrible Sunday. No doubt about it.
- The bandwagon for the Baltimore Ravens is just getting rolling. While the Ratbirds looked tremendous in Tampa on Sunday, we're still skeptical about their chances of surviving 16 games without significant injury difficulties.
- We feel pretty good about our 2-14 prognostication for the Tennessee Titans after their performance on Sunday.
- We don't feel quite so good about our 9-7 prognostication for the Browns after their performance on Sunday.
- The Buckeye's showing Saturday evening in Austin was nothing short of spectacular. Troy Smith seemed to have 100% control over the flow of the game and made difficult plays look easy. Although the Bucks certainly look like a serious contender for the national championship, the instability at the kicker position still scares us.
- NBC's "Football Night in America" gets a B for week one. While Bob Costas and Cris Collinsworth both had stellar performances, Jerome Bettis looked like a rookie analyst and even mentioned his nerves at one point. Sterling Sharpe brings absolutely nothing to the broadcast. Sharpe's misguided attempt to provide a combination of Michael Irvin attitude with Tom Jackson expertise just didn't work. There's a reason he didn't last with ESPN and it was apparent with his NBC performance Sunday evening - he just isn't good.
- Due to covering Sunday's Browns game, we didn't get to check out James Brown's return to CBS's NFL Today show or Joe Buck's debut on the Fox NFL Pregame Show. We're anxious to see how both programs are coming together, although we already have our doubts as to how well the Fox show will work on the road for 17 weeks.
- There will be some significant changes to the sports radio landscape in Cleveland in the coming weeks. While we have our finger on the pulse of what is about to transpire, we don't anticipate anything changing for us in the near future. What we do plan on doing is sitting back and enjoying some increased competition in the marketplace and hopefully some new opportunites for some of our friends in the business.
- Our sit down with Artie Lange Friday evening was both interesting and enjoyable. We've got almost an hour of audio which should be available within the next couple days. Artie's movie, Beer League, premiers in Cleveland on Friday.
- We'll be back with a lot of stuff this week as we've got an Indians homestand coming up on Tuesday. Any Indians homestand, especially one that includes two games with Kansas City, provides a good amount of time for written pontification.
